Scenes of late night cityscapes, lonely interiors, awe-inspiring desert wastes, and seaside vistas are found within the exquisitely subtle lyric moods and nuances of Najmi's ars poetica, providing insight into the geographical, political, and linguistic ferment that have made Morocco an exciting hub of creative activity in the twenty-first century. 606 $aArabic poetry$vTranslations into English 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aArabic poetry 676 $a892.7/16 700 $aNajmi$b Hassan$01806433 702 $aSryfi$b Mbarek 702 $aSellin$b Eric$f1933- 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910960452503321 996 $aThe Blueness of the Evening$94355612 997 $aUNINA
